EP 08: Staying buoyant with Sara Duigou

Posted on September 27, 2024 by Sarah Robertson

Today, I’m excited to welcome Sara Duigou, a Somatic Coach and Embodiment Practitioner, for a conversation about the Season of Grounding. In this episode, we delve into the role of rest in creative renewal as Sara shares the seven types of rest and offers her wisdom on honouring our natural rhythms in both life and work.

We explore:

  • The seven types of rest: Physical, Mental, Social, Spiritual, Sensory, Emotional, and Creative
  • The importance of finding your unique rhythm, rather than striving for balance
  • How somatics can help you reconnect with your body’s natural healing processes
  • Maintaining buoyancy during challenging times
  • Navigating emotional labour and setting healthy boundaries
  • The role of rest in building a sustainable business

You can connect with Sara on Instagram and Substack, and explore more of her work in embodiment and somatics on her website.

I’m also excited to publish a bonus article in collaboration with Sara, so look out for that on my Brand Seasons publication.
